I pretty much find all babies incredibly creepy and scary..(thank you 22 years of horror/thriller films -.-) I also struggle to tell the difference between an ugly and a cute baby so i usually just say it looks cute to not offend anyone :S

I also find it weird that i find all baby animals adorable yet find human babies weird looking :S

I think almost all babies are ugly, and generally want nothing to do with them. And the people around me know that well enough to know better than to push one on me and ask what I think.

That being said, why make a point of it? Beauty is a relative thing anyhow, and there's really nothing to be gained by being rude to a person just for the sake of being rude. If someone truly pushes me to give my opinion I'll give my honest one, but generally speaking a polite "I'm not really much for babies" is enough to end the scene without anyone being insulted and having feelings hurt. If I wanted people to think I'm badass, I'd skydive from the moon back to earth, not go around insulting people's babies.

Babies all look the same to me, generally speaking. And a baby's appearance is going to dramatically change over the years; so big deal if you got a ugly baby. Would I ever tell someone their baby looked ugly? Of course not, assuming it's not my arch-nemesis.

To declare that a personal, inner experience gives certainty about the workings of the universe is to assign far too much value to one’s subjective sense of conviction.
I’m not that arrogant.
The brain, marvelous instrument though it is, isn’t infallible. It can misfire, seize or hallucinate, and it can do so in a way that’s utterly indistinguishable from reality to the person experiencing it.

No, most babies look the same to me (If skin colour is the same, I can at least tell the difference between black and white), and fairly ugly, but I would rather tell the person that the baby isn't ugly, since I have no reason to be negative on someones bundle of joy.

my recommendation would be not to tell any mother that their baby is ugly, or you risk physical harm, and no jury in the world is going to be on your side.

in parent's eyes the baby is beautiful. Our first baby was beautiful to us, until we recently looked at the baby pictures ... and wondered what we were thinking. But at the time when a baby is a baby, you should hold your tongue.

Most babies are ugly in my opinion. They are little purple people whose entire existence is comparable to a drunk person. They make weird noises, can't walk, throw up without notice, can't control bodily functions and need constant attention.

Babies can't be ugly. Seriously, that's not what they're there for. That's like calling a banana ugly. Compared to what and by what standards? All babies represent purity and the blessing of new life, regardless of the standings of their parents or the environment they're brought into.

It's all about perspective. If people are actually walking around repulsed by the physical appearance of babies, maybe it's time to have a good hard look at that perspective. Not meant in a judgmental way but more of a "Hey, have you actually given that point of view a single shred of conscious thought?" kind of way.

Sure they can, I've seen some babies that look like that evil baby from the movie "It's Alive!". Just because people don't see it the way you see it, doesn't mean they have to have a good hard look at that perspective. I disagree with the thought that they represent purity and the blessing of new life or that they represent whatever else people like to say. They're just human babies, that's it. Little pooping and eating machines that cry all the time that will grow up to be like us. People over analyze babies in my opinion, but whatever.

Also, I'm pretty sure people would consider some bananas (probably the fucked up looking brown ones) to be ugly.

But back OT. I probably wouldn't tell someone their baby is ugly since people go ape shit over babies. I do, however, hate people that say how cute their baby looks all the time or when all they talk about, 24/7 is the baby and the things it does. Really, really annoying.
